How to take screenshots?

Hello fellows,
I have question about screenshots in SGS2. How I can take them? Only by special application, connecting it to PC via HDMI cable or another? I was just wondering to take some pictures from Galaxy on Fire 2 and Reckless Racing
Thanks and greetings.

Press Menu and Power at the same time.

shoot me on the market is good too. sometimes i want to take a screenshot while pressing a button and cant with the built in screenshot feature so i use shoot me.
you just shake the phone to take a screen shot.

Not quite, that is the explanation always given but it's actually
Press HOME
Press and release POWER
Release HOME

Press both at same time is actually right. You can hold HOME and press POWER and release POWER and stay holding HOME though.

I'm using "screen capture" on the market
here's the link

HOME + POWER works like a charm, no root required, no need to install any additional apps

Hallelujah! I never got that, was pressing both buttons simultaneously which just locked the screen. This works better, though still not every time like on iOS.

Some hardware button questions....any advice ..?

1) The power button is press very often ...... will it spolit fast also ????
2) The Home button is it soft touch ? After I put screen protect over it ... it become less sensitive .... normal ?

I was concerned wth the power button, too. That is why I changes my home button to act as my power button.

MOD --> disable home wakeup

Hello,
For the S3.
the home button & the volumes button are disabled with this zip.
Just the power button will wake up your phone. Battery saver
Flash it with CWM.

Hi, nice feature. But please can you provide a undo .zip?

I would prefer one that ONLY wakes the phone with the home button

How is this a battery saving mod? Does the home-button wakeup feature actually consume some battery?

Me too! Very useful when out at concerts etc. I found that the constant movement would cause the power button to be hit, then screen would stay on for a minute with contact through thin trousers/shorts.
Eventually I found phone was quite warm and battery was slightly reduced.
And I have no idea what the volume wake does, but I have left it enabled.

How about wake up with volume keys

Basically, the file gpio-keys.kl contains four lines corresponding to both volume keys, power button and the home button.
The zip I posted removes the WAKE from just the power button. So the volume keys behave in the same way they would without the modification.
The zip the op posted removes the WAKE from the volume keys and the home button, but not the power button. (so the volume keys will no longer wake the device).
I don't know what this difference means, I assume it may have something to do with volume changing when listening to music? But I have no idea.
Does this clear it up?

But the volume keys dont wake up the phone by default right?

Nope, not as far as I have ever seen.
But they were set to WAKE, so I left them that way.

Is there a flashable file that can enable that?
Thanks1

the button doesn't, but the screen coming on does. Disabling the button is handy, when phones in pocket, and button keeps pressing.

Enable wake on volume key press? I honestly don't know how, according to the file that I modified they already do - but we know that they don't actually visibly affect the device.

I think acccidently pressing the power button is much easier than accidently pressing the home button, so arguably, you would save more power disabling the power button, and not the home button?

Thank´s for this, love it.

i have a case on my s3 so pressing the power button is eliminated accidentally, however the home button i seem to press accidentally every time i pull it out of my pocket or even just shuffling it around.

Hey,can't test it because i have cm9!
Looking good though...
Could you make a zip for cm9 too?

Fair enough, I foolishly don't have a case for my phone. But I have insurance so that helps? (worst reasoning ever)

I just downloaded a CM9 nightly, the same file exists which this zip modifies.
This *should* work for you no issues, with the revert working aswell. Of course, nandroid first...

Tried with your Power button disabled mod.. Doesn't work.. After flashing, it still wakes up my phone.
I am on Stock firmware with Siyah Kernel.. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Delay on waking up the device

Hello, i recently bought this beast and i am noticing 2-3 seconds delay when i wake up the device by pressing the power button or home button, is there away to fix it

I think it's S Voice. Go into the app and uncheck the below options.
Open via the home key
Wake up command

Power button, not sure.
Home button is defintitely s-voice, which hijacks the home button. It makes a delay so to wait for a double tap. Its very annoying.

I had the same delay and just tried this. It works! No more delay with the power button! Thanks americasteam.

Thanks, it works

Yes thanks americasteam! Only issue so far, everything else is butter.

I deactivated the S Voice option but there is still very noticeable delay when waking the phone with the Home or Power button.
Any suggestions?

Anyone?

There are thousands of threads all over this forum and other forums considering this issue.. This is (by the opinion of the majority) caused by Exynos.. When phone enters deep sleep state it takes while until Exynos wakes all 4 cores or smt like that...

[Q] how to screenshot?

Just looking for keystroke to screenshot on the lg optimus g. After extensive google searching, reading the manual, and inquiring with my carriers tech support I have come up empty handed. If anyone knows you're assistance is greatly appreciated.

Volume down + power

From the drop down use quickmemo or the volume rocker when pressed it is like doing both at the same time
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

press the volume down button and the power button at the same time. It was a bit tricky for me at first but after a few attempts it become really easy.

Best way is to hold down the volume rocker. +/- does quick note, from there you can just click save. much easier.
